I Heard It's the Softest Thing Ever

Something about a breakup...

and what annoys me is on a lot of songs people just say "OH YEAH I REALLY LOVE THIS SONG!" and I'm like who the fuck cares I would like to hear what you got out of the song... seeing as how the site's name is songmeanings... -__-

This song to me is about a person that was given up on maybe? It actually works really well with an old friendship I had..especially the lines "I was just another promise that you couldn't keep"

Really like this song, possibly my favourite from the album.

There's some lyrics missing.. "Read between the lines We can't give in this time"

The best song on the album.

I was watching a film on sky indie called 'Thumbsucker', the main character just had sex with a girl and his younger brother asked him what her p*ssy was like, then he said 'I heard its the softest thing ever'. Maybe thats where they got the title of the song from

this song is the best :)

ive seen thumbsucker, good movie.

Fantastic song. I'm seeing them in five days, I hope they play this!

It's a really good song, and I love the meaning behind it, or at least the one I draw from it. I don't even really know how to explain what it means to me.. I went through a really bad breakup, and this is how I felt. I felt..hurt, but stronger? because of it.

Again another amazing song

This song really means a lot to me right now, I was in a relationship for nine months and my girlfriend dumped me. I really didn't want to let her go I felt like she was the one an she would always play stupid little head games saying she wanted me back when she really just wanted someone to care about her. I finally got over her and that's what I feel like the first verse is about, "the end of an era" "the end of second chances". I felt defeated for a long time but once I was able to get her out of my mind I felt like I had finally won.

Tonight I'm sending a message This is the end of an era the end of second chances In the face of defeat I'm winning Yet, you still have so much left to say

A few months later she realized that I was truely the one for her and she tried getting back with me and I told her that I was better off on my own, thus the chrous.

Just let me go for now I'll be just fine Don't ya know now that I'm back on my own

I feel like the second verse is about her realizing that I was finally done and that I was no longer her "security".

Tell me how it feels to watch the walls of your security crumble I remember you, you took the easy way out when I gave you something to stand for

This last part to me was basically about her breaking all our plans for the future, having kids, getting married, etc.

I was just another promise that you couldn't keep

Anyways that's just what the song means to me...

P.s - Fucking amazing!!!!
